“Entire 13 person company, Versus Evil, laid off today December 22 at the start our Christmas break,” wrote former director of product strategy Francis Finckeon LinkedIn.
The Versus Evil account on Xconfirmed the news. “Today is a sad day. After 10 wonderful years, Versus Evil is shutting its doors. We’ve loved bringing you the best indie games we could find & sharing so many happy memories with you all, our amazing community! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for everything!”
Escalante had been involved in litigation against tinyBuild, alleging that the publisher had breached obligations of their agreement in purchasing Versus Evil. tinyBuild announced in a recenttrading updatethat they had settled the litigation, agreeing to pay the claimants “$3.5 million in cash (in addition to legal costs).”
tinyBuild also closed Hakjak Studio, the developers of the upcoming Pigeon Simulator, earlier this month.
